Regret Came Too Late

Chapter 139

On the other hand, Grace and Selene had already returned to their place.

Selene casually flipped her hair, clearly pleased with the events of the evening.

She stretched out a hand in front of Grace. "I like your personality. How about we go shopping together sometime?"

Since waking up, Grace hadn't made any new acquaintances besides her friend, Joanne. She shrugged off any reservations and shook Selene's hand casually.

"Sure."

Selene then waved her off. "Alright. I'll head inside, then."

The two went their separate ways.

When she went down, she saw Carmen and Liam waiting for her.

Liam was leaning against a nearby pillar with his arms crossed, avoiding eye contact with Grace. However, Carmen stormed up to her and immediately launched into a tirade.
